0:00:30 > 0:00:31and you do that by coming up with the answers
0:00:31 > 0:00:33no-one else could think of.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38APPLAUSE

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Bec, I'm from York and I'm a full-time mum.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Hi, I'm Marc, I'm from Leeds and I'm a CGI artist.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15And these are today's contestants.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17APPLAUSE
0:01:17 > 0:01:20So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22He's got the looks of a Hollywood leading man
0:01:22 > 0:01:24but the scent of a Grimsby trawlerman.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard!
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Hiya. LAUGHTER
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Hi, everybody. Afternoon. APPLAUSE
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon.- Are you well?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35I'm extremely well, thank you.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- I'm very excited with Marc as a CGI artist.- Yeah.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40First time we've had a CGI artist on the show.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43I'll tell you how brilliant he is. I know for a fact he is.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- Do you know how I know for a fact he's brilliant?- How?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I'm not actually here.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48LAUGHTER
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I know. I'm currently at home watching Pointless.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54I'm going to sit back, relax and enjoy it
0:01:54 > 0:01:55and it will look like I'm here.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57I'm not saying any of this stuff either.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00This has all been done by Dame Helen Mirren.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02ALEXANDER CHUCKLES
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- She is good, isn't she? - Thank you.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05LAUGHTER
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Well, all our questions on Pointless
0:02:09 > 0:02:11have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Our contestants here are looking for the obscure answers
0:02:13 > 0:02:15those 100 people didn't give.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Of course, everyone's trying to find a Pointless answer,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20that being an answer that none of our 100 people gave,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23and each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Now, Rebecca and Jane won the jackpot last time
0:02:25 > 0:02:29so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000. There it is.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:36 > 0:02:38All you have to remember, as always,
0:02:38 > 0:02:40is that the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:40 > 0:02:44will be eliminated and, of course, there is no conferring.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47You knew that. Our first category today is...
0:02:50 > 0:02:51It's Fiction.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:53 > 0:02:54who's going to go second?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03OK, and our question concerns...
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Literary characters in haiku. Don't tell me you haven't read that!
0:03:10 > 0:03:11CONTESTANTS LAUGH
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Eh, Richard?- Yeah, it sounds easy or hard depending on
0:03:14 > 0:03:15whether you know what a haiku is.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Essentially, on each board, we've described seven famous characters
0:03:18 > 0:03:20from literature but in the form of a haiku poem.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23That's five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Just need to tell us the name of the character.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28We're also going to give you their initials at the end of the poem.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Seven on each board, 14 in all to have a go at at home.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35So, remember, we're looking for the names of these literary characters.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40Let's reveal our first set of seven haikus, and they are as follows...
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I'll read those all again.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- Lucille, welcome to Pointless. - Hello.- Fabulous to have you here.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48What do you do, Lucille?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I'm an office manager for a printing company.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53There's a lot of printing going on.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56It's a very printing and graphic design-led show, this.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- What sort of printing?- We do a lot of work for fashion houses.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01- Fashion houses?- Yes, fashion houses.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03What's the difference between a fashion house
0:05:03 > 0:05:08and just a fashion label? Do you have to be quite posh to be a house?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Well, it's more the manufacturers, really,
0:05:10 > 0:05:12that we do a lot of work for.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Good stuff. OK. Now, then, what are you going to go for?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Haikus - do we like the haikus? - I do, actually.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20I was a bit worried when it first came up but I've relaxed a bit now.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23It's not so bad, second time I read it through.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Yes, I was all right then.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28I'm going to go for "this Cervantes knight" is Don Quixote.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Don Quixote, says Lucille. Let's see if it's right
0:05:30 > 0:05:33and let's see how many of our 100 people said Don Quixote.
0:05:38 > 0:05:4059.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41APPLAUSE
0:05:41 > 0:05:4359 for Don Quixote.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Yeah, it's quite a big score, isn't it, for Don Quixote.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- I guess cos of the initials - DQ. Who else is it going to be?- Yeah.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Laura, welcome.- Yes.- So, what sort of PR do you do, Laura?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57All sorts of PR. It could be...
0:05:57 > 0:05:59We promote companies all over the world for
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- their different products, services. - Do you do personal PR as well?
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- Yes, have done personal PR but mostly product PR.- I see, OK.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10And what do you do when you're not PR-ing?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I actually sing in a duo with my sister.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Now, that's fun, isn't it? - It's pretty cool, yeah.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18And what sort of songs do you sing?
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Pop songs, all the way from sort of '70s to modern day so, yeah,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- hopefully, that will give me some Pointless ammunition.- Absolutely.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Do you accompany yourselves when you're singing?
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- We have backing tracks.- Very good.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- OK. Now, Laura, haikus.- OK. - Don Quixote has gone.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41- What else would you like to go for? - Literature is not good for me.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- I think...- No, it is good for you, it's been proven.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46LAUGHTER
0:06:46 > 0:06:48If you say so.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I know one for definite but I think it's going to be so high,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I might just take a gamble.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56I'm going to go for the Conan Doyle and say Jim Moriarty.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Jim Moriarty says Laura.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Let's see if that's right
0:07:00 > 0:07:04and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Jim Moriarty.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07It's right.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Look at that! 21, Laura.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15APPLAUSE
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Beating Don Quixote into a cocked hat there.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Yeah, well played, Laura.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22I think Moriarty, people know, but people having troubles with
0:07:22 > 0:07:24the first name - it's James Moriarty or Jim Moriarty.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Supposedly based on a guy called Adam Worth who's buried
0:07:27 > 0:07:31in Highgate Cemetery, who was like the real-life Napoleon of crime.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34There we are. Now, Barry, welcome.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Now, hang on, so you're also in the print business, aren't you?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- Yeah, I'm a graphic designer. - What sort of designs do you do?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Basically, the majority of the stuff is packaging,
0:07:43 > 0:07:47packaging design, for various companies throughout the Northwest.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- So people who put their brands on bags and boxes and stuff?- Yeah.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Brilliant. Now, Barry, what are you going to go for?
0:07:54 > 0:08:01- I know a couple that are left. I'll go for the Wuthering Heights.- OK.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Catherine Earnshaw.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- Catherine?- Earnshaw.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Earnshaw, thank you.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11let's see how many of our 100 people said Catherine Earnshaw.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Absolutely right. 59 is our high score, you've passed that.
0:08:18 > 0:08:2021 our low, you've passed that.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Well done, Barry.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Down to 5 for Catherine Earnshaw.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26APPLAUSE
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Very well played, Barry, and that one's the other way round -
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I think people know the first name, they know she's Cathy,
0:08:32 > 0:08:35but Catherine Earnshaw was beyond 95 of our 100.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, then, Bec, welcome.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- Hi.- Welcome to the show. And where are you from, Bec?- I'm from York.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- From York and you're a full-time mum there?- I am, yes.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52- Shortly to increase your workload, I see.- Yes. Can you tell?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- That's exciting. Due when?- In a couple of months.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- Well, best of luck with that.- Thank you.- So, what have you got so far?
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- I've got a little boy, 22 months, called Freddy.- Lovely.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07And what do you like getting up to in York, Bec?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10I tend to do a lot of home produce,
0:09:10 > 0:09:15we live on a farm so it's quite a sort of home-grown lifestyle.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- We make pickles.- So, pickles, I see, vegetables and fruits and things?
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- Pickles and jams and... - And chutneys?- Yeah.- Mmm.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27My other half mocks me and says that I'm a 1950s housewife throwback.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Nothing wrong with that, it sounds delicious.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Anyway, so what are you going to go for? The board is all yours.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34There are four left for you to choose from.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I think I'm going to go for the bottom one.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I'm not 100% sure of his first name
0:09:39 > 0:09:42but I think the others are going to be a lot higher in points
0:09:42 > 0:09:45so I think it's Gatsby
0:09:45 > 0:09:48and I'm going to say John, John Gatsby.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51OK, you're going to say John Gatsby. Let's see if that's right
0:09:51 > 0:09:53and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57- Oh, Bec.- Oh.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Bec, I'm really sorry, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Yeah, sorry, Bec, that is a risk when you knew the other ones.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Actually, the clue is already there to his name, which is?- Jay.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Jay Gatsby, I'm afraid.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15It would've scored you 9 points, would have been a terrific answer.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Eh, the top one, you'll know all of these, I'm presuming?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Yes, it's Fitzwilliam.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Fitzwilliam Darcy. Would've scored you 12 points.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Yep, then it's Ebenezer Scrooge.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32Yep, which would've scored 37, so both good scores there, Bec.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- And the other one on the board? - Hannibal Lecter.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Hannibal Lecter, also quite a low score actually.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Would've scored you 35, so all would have been good answers.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42So, best answer on the board, Barry, Catherine Earnshaw. Well played.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Very good indeed. Thanks so much, Richard.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Well, we're halfway through the round,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49so let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:49 > 0:10:515, the best score of that round, Barry, very well done indeed.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Then up to 21 where we find Laura and Jane,
0:10:53 > 0:10:5659, Lucille and Geoff,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59and then 100, Bec and Marc.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- It's not necessarily game over, though, Marc.- We'll see.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03It could be a very tough board, the next one,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05but, yeah, try and find a nice low score if you can.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07We're going to come back down the line now.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15OK, we're going to put seven more haikus up on the board
0:11:15 > 0:11:17and here they come.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19We have got...
0:11:49 > 0:11:51I'll read them one last time.
0:12:17 > 0:12:24- There we are. Marc.- Hello.- So, CGI? - Yes.- So, what bit do you do?
0:12:24 > 0:12:29I work in photographic studio, so we produce room sets,
0:12:29 > 0:12:33interiors for high street DIY stores.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37I used to be a photographer there and then changed tack
0:12:37 > 0:12:38and now I do it all on the computer
0:12:38 > 0:12:41so we have to make everything look like a photograph.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Have you ever been to that imaginary restaurant?
0:12:44 > 0:12:45The imaginary...?
0:12:45 > 0:12:46CGI Fridays.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48LAUGHTER
0:12:48 > 0:12:53- It looks just like a restaurant, doesn't it?- Yeah. But it ain't.- No.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58What do you do when you're not doing that, Marc?
0:12:58 > 0:13:01I have a six-month-old little boy called Casper
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- so he takes up the vast majority of my time at the moment.- Lovely.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08We also have a 1971 VW campervan so we like to get away camping
0:13:08 > 0:13:10- and that as much as possible. - Very nice indeed.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Now, Marc, you know what you have to do here,
0:13:12 > 0:13:14you've got to find a nice low score.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Is there one there that's leaping out at you?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20I know a couple, they're not going to be low, I don't think,
0:13:20 > 0:13:24so I'm going to have to go for the top one, which is Frodo Baggins.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Frodo Baggins says Marc. No red line for you as you're the high scorers.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Let's see how many of our 100 people said Frodo Baggins.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34It's right.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Well, you're definitely in with a shout.
0:13:40 > 0:13:4236. 136, your total.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43APPLAUSE
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Given yourself a chance there, Marc, well done.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Tolkien's first job after the First World War was
0:13:49 > 0:13:51he used to work for the Oxford English Dictionary.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Used to work on W.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Did he?- Mm. That's quite fun, isn't it?- That is quite fun.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Has he got any sort of trademark Tolkienisms in there?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Yeah, it's 400 pages long.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03LAUGHTER
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- Now, Pete.- Hi.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Pete, listen, good news, you're through.- Good.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11You're through to the next round.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13So, Pete, tell us about your line of work.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17I'm also in the printing business and when I left school,
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Barry was my boss, when I was on a YTS scheme.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Through the course of our working lives,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26there's been about two years in 27 years throughout various companies
0:14:26 > 0:14:28that we haven't actually worked together.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32I set up on my own and Barry was the first person I turned to
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- when I set up.- See, that's nice, isn't it? So you've become friends.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39I mean, on day one, can you remember the first day on your YTS scheme?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I do. I remember my interview and my question was,
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- "What football team do you support?" - Yeah.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Which was Man City, and he said, "What bands do you like?"
0:14:48 > 0:14:50And I said, "Well, I like Fleetwood Mac"
0:14:50 > 0:14:52and he started singing in the interview,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55he was singing Fleetwood Mac songs and going through all of the songs,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57saying, "What about this one?" And that was about it.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00There was no references, there was no "what grades have you got?"
0:15:00 > 0:15:02None of that.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Brilliant. Now, Pete, you're through, which is the good news.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07What are you going to go for?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I'm going to take a guess on "attends Lowood School"
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- and Jane Eyre?- Jane Eyre, says Pete.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14No red line as you're already through
0:15:14 > 0:15:17but let's see how many of our 100 said Jane Eyre.
0:15:24 > 0:15:2644. Takes your total up to 49.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28APPLAUSE
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Well played, Pete.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Yeah, safely through, from Charlotte Bronte's novel.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39- Thank you very much indeed. Now, Jane.- Yes.- Welcome to Pointless.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44- Thank you.- So, you run your own PR firm?- Yeah, I do.- Down in Dorset?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46I do, it's in a place called Highcliffe which nobody
0:15:46 > 0:15:49seems to know so I always say it's on the New Forest border,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52but I've been running it for three years now.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54You should do some PR for Highcliffe. Well, you have just now.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59- Yeah, there we go.- I hear good things about Highcliffe, do you?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- You know the New Forest?- No. - And the rest of England?- Yes.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- The bit between that. - That's Highcliffe?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- That's where you'll find it. - Very beautiful area of the country.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07How would you get there?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- What would be the best road to get to Highcliffe?- Oh, don't ask me that.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14I came on four trains today. I won't direct you to Highcliffe.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Actually, it's the A35.- The A35.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19See, the PR person kicked in right at the end there.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Jane, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Oh, my goodness me, I just love this round! Which I don't.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31But you're on 21, this is great news, you're through,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- so it doesn't really matter. - Oh, thank goodness.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I didn't want to let Laura down because I was looking
0:16:36 > 0:16:38and I thought, "I only know one and it's gone"
0:16:38 > 0:16:42and it was Jane Eyre, thanks, so I have no idea.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44I'll just make up a real funny one, I'm sorry,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46I'd love to guess intellectually.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50I'll say Nineteen Eighty-Four is William Short.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55William Short. No red line, because you are already through.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Let's see if William Short is right.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01SHE CHUCKLES
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Surprisingly, I'm afraid,
0:17:03 > 0:17:07William Short is not the right answer.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 121.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- Sorry, Jane. Great work on the initials, though.- Thank you.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19- Can't fault her for that, can you? - Absolutely not, no. Geoff.- Yes, sir.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Geoff, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Geoff, what do you do?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26I'm a business analyst in shipping so I do shipping software.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Shipping software.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31For those tankers, the oil tankers, those big beasts.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Yeah, so all the systems on board those things.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Yeah, we look after the safety systems onboard.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- I mean they're colossal, aren't they?- They're huge.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42And people are on them for a long, long time, aren't you?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45You cycle from one end to the other if you have a bike
0:17:45 > 0:17:48and you actually get to go down on the deck on that.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Good stuff. Now, Geoff, listen, there you are, you're on 59.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Oh, dear. - You have to score 76 or less.- Yes.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58So, talk us through this board
0:17:58 > 0:18:02and see if you can name any of these haiku people.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Unfortunately, I can't talk you through any on the board
0:18:04 > 0:18:08because the two that I knew have gone so, Alexander,
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I'm going to have to do a guess.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Marc and Bec are suddenly really back in the game.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Yeah, after this one.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18I'm going to be really silly and on the last one,
0:18:18 > 0:18:24"Venetian beauty", I'm sure she's Cornish, I'm going to say Demelza.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- Demelza?- Yes, unfortunately. - It's a nice name, isn't it?
0:18:28 > 0:18:29- It's a lovely name.- OK.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34If Demelza gets you below that red line, you are in Round Two.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Let's see if he will be. Demelza.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Oh, Demelza.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44That would've been nice, though, Demelza.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48159 is your total cos you score 100 points with an incorrect answer.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49- Richard?- Yeah, sorry, Geoff.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52It's the right one to guess for though cos there's only one word
0:18:52 > 0:18:54to get wrong. All the others are two words to get wrong.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- Bec, did you know D? - I did, it's Desdemona.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58It's Desdemona, absolutely.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Demelza, not a million miles away. - Not a million miles away.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- But a million miles off.- Yeah.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Certainly begins with the same letter, 27 points for that.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- How are you on the rest of those? A couple of tricky ones.- Yeah.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- Well, the hitchhiker who goes in his dressing gown?- Arthur Dent.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Arthur Dent, of course. Would've scored 24.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Let's clear up William Short from Nineteen Eighty-Four.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22That is Winston Smith.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Winston Smith, it is. 9 points for that.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30The Swedish heroine of The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo is Lisbeth Salander.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Would've scored you 5 points. Do you know the Hardy answer?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Eustacia Vye.- Yes, thank you.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39And that is the best answer on the board, 2 points.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Very well done if you said that at home.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Well, at the end of our first round,
0:19:44 > 0:19:46the pair who are going to be heading home with their high score
0:19:46 > 0:19:49of 159, I'm sorry, Geoff and Lucille, it is you.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Well, listen, we will see you again next time and we look forward
0:19:52 > 0:19:55to that but in the meantime, thanks very much, Geoff and Lucille.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:19:57 > 0:20:01But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03APPLAUSE
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Well, so three pairs remain.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Oh, we had two lucky escapes there.
0:20:10 > 0:20:16Laura and Jane, phew, and Bec and Marc, very close shave there,
0:20:16 > 0:20:20but Barry and Pete - Catherine Earnshaw. Oh!
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Apple for teacher there. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Our category for Round Two today is...
0:20:28 > 0:20:30World Geography.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34who's going to go second?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42OK, let's find out what the question is, here it comes.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Capital cities in the Northern Hemisphere. Richard?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Yep, we're looking for the name of any capital city
0:20:57 > 0:20:59that lies in the Northern Hemisphere, please.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01That's the capital city of any sovereign state that's
0:21:01 > 0:21:04a member of the UN in its own right where the capital itself
0:21:04 > 0:21:05sits in the Northern Hemisphere.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09We won't allow any UK capitals in this round, I'm afraid.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Laura, you looked despairing when this came up.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20Well, if literature wasn't bad enough, geography's even worse.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- You have watched this show before, right?- Yeah!
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I'm waiting for the music.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29It's a capital city anywhere in half the world.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34OK. I'll take a guess and I'll say Budapest.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Budapest says Laura.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Let's see if it's right
0:21:37 > 0:21:40and let's see how many people said Budapest.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44Not bad.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Still going down, Laura.
0:21:48 > 0:21:5014.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51APPLAUSE
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Well done, Laura.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Capital of Hungary and a hit single for George Ezra as well
0:21:59 > 0:22:01so you neatly turned it into a pop music question.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03That's where I got it from.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Thanks very much indeed. Barry?
0:22:06 > 0:22:10I'm going to go for...Reykjavik.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- That's exactly what I was thinking of.- I know.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Exactly what I was thinking of, Barry.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Reykjavik. Let's see if that's right,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18let's see how many of our 100 people said Reykjavik.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22It's right.
0:22:25 > 0:22:2614 our only score at this point,
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Reykjavik gets 22.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30APPLAUSE
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Yeah, it's actually the most northerly capital city in the world,
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Reykjavik, which I think is why it scored quite a few points.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44- Thank you very much indeed. Now, Marc?- Yes.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46I should know more of these, I really should.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48I'm going to go for Tallinn.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Tallinn. Tallinn, says Marc. Let's see if it's right,
0:22:50 > 0:22:52let's see how many of our 100 said Tallinn.
0:22:54 > 0:23:00It's right. Well, 22 is our high score, which you pass.
0:23:00 > 0:23:0314 our low, which you've passed as well. Very well done indeed, Marc.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04APPLAUSE
0:23:05 > 0:23:07You got 12 for Tallinn.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Yeah, the capital of Estonia, Tallinn. Very well played.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Let's see where our scores have left us.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Tallinn, best answer of that pass. Well done, Marc, 12.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Then up to 14, Laura. You see?
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Budapest - brilliant answer.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26And 22 there for Reykjavik.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Punishingly high there, Barry.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30I thought that was an excellent answer.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32We've got Pete there waiting with a brilliant...
0:23:32 > 0:23:33I can see Pete's got a brilliant answer.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35So, best of luck with that.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37It needs to be a low score though, Pete, to keep you in the game.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39We're going to come back down the line.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46OK, so, Bec, remember,
0:23:46 > 0:23:48it is any capital city in the Northern Hemisphere.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50- Yes.- OK.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53It's not great for me, geography, really.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I think I'll have to go for something reasonably obvious
0:23:56 > 0:24:00so I'll go for Oslo.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05Oslo. OK, Oslo, says Bec. There's your red line.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Let's see if you can get near or below it with Oslo.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09How many people said it?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Not bad. 35, Bec.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19APPLAUSE
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- 47 is your total. - Yeah, another big scorer, Oslo.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29There'll be people at home screaming answers at the TV at the moment.
0:24:29 > 0:24:35Thank you. OK, so, Pete. Pete, you have to score 24 or less.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40I'm in a situation where I've got a few but I think the one that I'm
0:24:40 > 0:24:45thinking of is not going to be good enough so I'm going to say Riva.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Riva? Riva says Pete. There is your red line. Riva.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Ooh, Pete, I'm sorry. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to an unbeatable 122.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Yeah, sorry, Pete.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10We'll find out what your other options were at the end of this pass.
0:25:10 > 0:25:16OK. Now, Jane, how relieved are you?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Am I doing well?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Were you listening to what just happened?
0:25:21 > 0:25:22LAUGHTER
0:25:22 > 0:25:27- Pete is on 122. Even if you score 100 points.- Can I just say anything?
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Yeah, but why not?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Come on, see if you can think of a good Northern Hemisphere
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- capital city. - I can't. I'm going to say Dublin.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34SHE LAUGHS
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Listen, no red line for you for the lovely reason that
0:25:37 > 0:25:38you are already through.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Let's see how many of our 100 people said Dublin.
0:25:47 > 0:25:4833.
0:25:48 > 0:25:5047 is your total.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51APPLAUSE
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Yeah, I'm going to come out and say it. That was just terrible all round.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Really? Half the countries of the world to choose from.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03There's over 50 Pointless answers out there as well.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07So many Pointless answers on this question, so many.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Let's take a look at a few of them.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Abuja, that's Nigeria. Baku, Azerbaijan.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. All of those are Pointless answers.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Could have had San Jose, which is Costa Rica.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20San Marino, which is San Marino. Sarajevo, which is Bosnia.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23We always say go for Central African Republic and Bangui,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26the Central African Republic capital was a Pointless answer.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Ouagadougou, the best-named capital in the world,
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Burkina Faso, that was a Pointless answer.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Phnom Penh is a Pointless answer.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Absolutely loads and loads of Pointless answers out there,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38not that you would have known from the six answers we were given.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40LAUGHTER
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Let's take a look at the top three answers,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45the ones that most people said.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Berlin would have scored you 54.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49Madrid, 59.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51At least you managed to avoid all of these.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53And right at the top, Paris, with 82.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- Now, Pete, you said Riva.- I know.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57As soon as I said it, I realised what I said.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- And you were thinking of the capital of Latvia which is...Riga.- Riga.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02And that would've scored you 9 points,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04would've been the best answer of the round as well.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05One letter out.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our second round,
0:27:08 > 0:27:11I'm afraid the pair who are heading home, Pete and Barry.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Very, very strong start from you so I have a feeling
0:27:13 > 0:27:15we can expect great things when we see you next time.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18We'll look forward to that very much indeed but in the meantime,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20thanks very much, Pete and Barry.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:22 > 0:27:24But for Laura and Jane, Bec and Marc,
0:27:24 > 0:27:26it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28APPLAUSE
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Well, congratulations, Laura and Jane, Bec and Marc,
0:27:33 > 0:27:35you are now one step closer to the final
0:27:35 > 0:27:38and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £1,000.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40There it is.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43OK, we have to decide who's going to go through to the final
0:27:43 > 0:27:47and play for that jackpot and we do that by making you go head-to-head.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49The first pair to win two questions will be
0:27:49 > 0:27:51playing for that £1,000 jackpot.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54The difference, of course, is now you are allowed to confer
0:27:54 > 0:27:56before you give your answers, which is fun.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59I'm just trying to work out who might have the advantage here
0:27:59 > 0:28:01because I think you're pretty evenly matched.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04You had identical scores in that last round, by the way.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Very interesting.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08And we had an incorrect answer, we had John Gatsby,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10we had William Short.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11THEY LAUGH
0:28:11 > 0:28:13And you both seemed to be taking a bit of a punt
0:28:13 > 0:28:15in the last round as well so who knows?
0:28:15 > 0:28:17It's going to be very, very exciting is what I'm saying.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22APPLAUSE
0:28:25 > 0:28:29OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- There you go, Laura. Robbie Williams singles.- No pressure.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38We're going to show you five images now that relate to words
0:28:38 > 0:28:41in the titles of Robbie Williams Top 40 singles.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43We're also going to give you the year it was a hit as well.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Can you tell us what these singles are, please?
0:28:45 > 0:28:46Thanks very much.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50Let's reveal our five visual clues and here they come.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51We've got...
0:29:12 > 0:29:14There you go.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Laura and Jane, you will go first.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:29:22 > 0:29:26We've got a couple we think we know but we're going to go for A
0:29:26 > 0:29:31- and we're going to say Candy. - Candy. Candy, say Laura and Jane.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35So, Bec and Marc, the board's all yours. Talk us through them.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37That was going to be our answer.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43B is obviously Angels, C is Millennium.
0:29:43 > 0:29:48- The other two, we're just not sure. - Yeah, go for one of the others.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50We'll have to go for C, Millennium.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53OK, Millennium. So, we've got Candy and Millennium.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Now, Laura and Jane said Candy. Let's see if that's right
0:29:56 > 0:29:58and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Candy.
0:30:06 > 0:30:0735.
0:30:07 > 0:30:08APPLAUSE
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Bec and Marc have gone for Millennium for C.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:30:16 > 0:30:18let's see how many of our 100 people said Millennium.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21It's right.
0:30:25 > 0:30:2847 for Millennium. Not bad, actually, quite close.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31But Laura and Jane, you win that one there.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34So, after one question, Laura and Jane are up one-nil.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Yes, D and E were the best answers up there.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39We'll look at B, you knew it was Angels,
0:30:39 > 0:30:42and it's a big scorer as well - 72 points for Angels.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48D was a hit he had with the Pet Shop Boys and it was called She's Madonna.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51And it's the best answer on the board. Would've scored you 3 points.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53And E, do you know what E is?
0:30:53 > 0:30:56He had a Top 10 hit with Tripping.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Tripping, 11 points for that.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Thanks very much indeed. OK, so here comes your second question.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Bec and Marc, you get to answer this one first so you need to win it.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05It concerns...
0:31:08 > 0:31:09Mastermind. Richard?
0:31:09 > 0:31:11We're going to show you five clues now
0:31:11 > 0:31:14to facts about the long-running quiz show Mastermind.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:31:16 > 0:31:19OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36I'll read those one last time.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Bec and Marc.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:31:56 > 0:31:58OK, we know a couple. We're going to go for the third one,
0:31:58 > 0:32:01the programme's original presenter, which is Magnus Magnusson.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Magnus Magnusson say Bec and Marc.
0:32:03 > 0:32:08So, Laura and Jane, over to you, talk us through the board.
0:32:08 > 0:32:14Oh, yeah, OK. The colour of the chair? Is it black? I don't know.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18- That's not my answer. The decade?- I don't remember, do you remember?- No.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22- We're going to go for, I think... Shall we?- Yeah.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25We think Fred Housego was a taxi driver.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29Fred Housego, taxi driver, say Laura and Jane. Let's find out.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32So, Bec and Marc have gone for Magnus Magnusson.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Let's see if that's right for the original presenter
0:32:34 > 0:32:36and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:32:38 > 0:32:39It's right.
0:32:41 > 0:32:4359.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44APPLAUSE
0:32:45 > 0:32:4859 for Magnus Magnusson.
0:32:48 > 0:32:53Now, then, Laura and Jane have said that Fred Housego was a taxi driver.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:32:59 > 0:33:00It is right.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03And it wins you the point, look at that! 46.
0:33:05 > 0:33:06Very well done indeed.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09That means, Laura and Jane, after only two questions,
0:33:09 > 0:33:11you're through to the final, two-nil.
0:33:12 > 0:33:17- How on earth did you manage to get into the final, Jane?- I don't know.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Laura doing an awful lot of heavy lifting on this show.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Well done, though. The colour of the chair is, of course, black.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27Very big score though, would've scored you 78 points.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31Do you know Magnus Magnusson presented that show for 25 years?
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Now, the decade, would you have gone for that, Bec and Marc?
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- '60s.- '70s, actually, I bet a lot of people said '60s.
0:33:37 > 0:33:431972 was the first broadcast. So, '70s would've scored 34 points.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44And the show's famous theme tune?
0:33:44 > 0:33:47We used to think it was frightening when we were little,
0:33:47 > 0:33:50we used to be quite scared. It's very powerful.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53It's called Approaching Menace.
0:33:53 > 0:33:59It's very apt, isn't it? That would've scored you 8 points.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- I don't know if our theme tune has a name.- It has now.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04- Approaching Teatime.- Ah!
0:34:04 > 0:34:05LAUGHTER
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Let's call it that, "Approaching Teatime".
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Can we officially call it that?
0:34:10 > 0:34:12- Excellent.- Brilliant. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14So, I'm afraid the pair who are heading home
0:34:14 > 0:34:17at the end of our head-to-head round, Marc and Bec.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Oh!
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Well, you did get two correct answers but they were
0:34:21 > 0:34:25just...just, just pipped in each case by Laura and Jane's.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- But the good news is we get to see you again next time.- Yes.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29So we'll look forward to that very much indeed.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32But for Laura and Jane, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34APPLAUSE
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Well, congratulations, Laura and Jane.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38You've fought off all the competition
0:34:38 > 0:34:41and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:41 > 0:34:42- Oh, yay!- Yes!
0:34:48 > 0:34:50You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:34:50 > 0:34:55which at the end of today's show stands still at £1,000.
0:34:55 > 0:34:56There it is.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59- Well, who would have thought? - Who would have thought?
0:34:59 > 0:35:01- Back in round one... - Dublin and...- Yeah.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05No, Dublin was one of your correct answers, Jane.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07You've got to learn that one.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09- We can't believe that. - You've got the trophy.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Hey, YOU can't believe it (!)
0:35:11 > 0:35:13LAUGHTER
0:35:13 > 0:35:17What do you mean? Hey, you! You're supposed to be on your side.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21As always, you get to choose your category for this round
0:35:21 > 0:35:23and we'll have some choices on the board behind me.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Let's see what they are.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Four of them.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- It's definitely not science. - And sport, and I can't stand cats.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Sorry, everyone that's got cats.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45- Musical Davids?- Yeah, Musical Davids.- Musical Davids.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49The best kind of David - Musical Davids. OK, Musical Davids it is.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52- Richard?- OK, very best of luck, three different questions here.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54We're looking for any UK Top 40 single up to
0:35:54 > 0:35:59May 2015 released by any of the following Davids, please.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01We're looking for any Top 40 single released by...
0:36:10 > 0:36:14And double A-sides, we'll count either answer as separate.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Very, very best of luck. Good luck at home as well.
0:36:16 > 0:36:17Now, as always,
0:36:17 > 0:36:20you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers and to
0:36:20 > 0:36:23win that jackpot, all you need to do is find just one Pointless answer.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- OK.- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yeah.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31There they are, your time starts now.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34OK, let's start with David Essex. Winter's Tale?
0:36:34 > 0:36:38- Make You A Star, that's too obvious. - Yeah, they're too obvious.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41I don't know that many David Essex songs.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45David Soul, Don't Give Up On Us, Baby, but that might be obvious.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47- I don't even know who he is. - You don't know who he is?- I don't.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51- David Gray - Babylon, everyone will get that.- Everyone knows Babylon.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- Think, think. - David Essex is going to be...
0:36:54 > 0:36:56David Essex, only A Winter's Tale. What was the motorbike one?
0:36:56 > 0:37:01- He did that film, um... Stardust?- Come on.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03David Essex... # Hold me close... #
0:37:03 > 0:37:06I'm not allowed to sing. Hold Me Close, I think.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10Only A Winter's Tale but I think people are going to know those.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- What else did David Essex sing? - I'm trying to think David Gray.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- And David Soul, Don't Give Up On Us, Baby.- We'll go with that.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Right, we'll go with Don't Give Up On Us, Baby.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Go with the David Essex one. - David Essex, A Winter's Tale.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22Ten seconds left.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Think of the musical, the songs that were in the musical.
0:37:24 > 0:37:29- Oh! Oh, the Fun at the Fair thing! - Yes, yes.- Uh! What was that?
0:37:29 > 0:37:31I don't know.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Oh, I'm afraid your time is now up.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38I now need your three answers. What are you going to go for?
0:37:38 > 0:37:43Oh, it's so tough, but David Essex, I think A Winter's Tale.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- OK, A Winter's Tale for David Essex. - Yeah.- What was the David Soul?
0:37:46 > 0:37:47David Soul was Don't Give Up On Us, Baby.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51- Don't Give Up On Us, Baby, David Soul.- And another David Essex?
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Hold Me Close. Oh, that's going to be so high.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Hold Me Close, David Essex. OK, so there we are.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Of those three, which is your best shot at a Pointless answer,
0:37:59 > 0:38:00do you think?
0:38:00 > 0:38:04- A Winter's Tale, do you think?- Yeah. - OK, A Winter's Tale we'll put last.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06- Least likely to be Pointless? - Probably Hold Me Close.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- Hold Me Close we'll put first.- Yeah.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11OK, well, we'll pop those up on the board in that order.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13And here they are. We've got...
0:38:19 > 0:38:24Now then, if you win this, if you win this jackpot of £1,000,
0:38:24 > 0:38:26what will you do with it?
0:38:26 > 0:38:27Laura first.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30OK, well, if we split it down the middle, that will be just enough
0:38:30 > 0:38:35to pay for the repairs on my car that I bashed into a wall last week.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36Yes.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- So, yeah.- That's exciting, isn't it? Wahey!- Yay!
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Get the dents knocked out. Jane?
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Oh, this is going to be on my vintage garden that I'm working on.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48I'm making it all shabby-chic with pretty pots and...
0:38:48 > 0:38:50- A shabby-chic vintage garden?- Yeah.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- What's the difference between that and a tip, essentially?- No!
0:38:53 > 0:38:55LAUGHTER
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- Good point.- I mean seriously, shabby-chic vintage garden.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01- I'll make it pretty. - Very fashionably long, the grass.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04It'll have bunting and pretty pots and chimneys.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08Ah, lovely. OK, so we're going for Hold Me Close as your first answer.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11We're looking for David Essex Top 40 singles.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14If this is Pointless, it will win you £1,000. So, let's find out.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Let us find out how many of our 100 people said
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Hold Me Close for David Essex.
0:39:24 > 0:39:25Well, down it goes.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28If this goes all the way down to zero, you leave here with £1,000.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30It's going down through the 20s, through the teens.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31Oh, 12.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Not bad at all.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35APPLAUSE
0:39:35 > 0:39:39And listen, you thought that was going to be your most obvious one.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42- Yeah.- Unfortunately not a Pointless answer, but still 12,
0:39:42 > 0:39:44really not at all bad.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47- Only two more shots at today's jackpot.- Yeah.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Your next answer was Don't Give Up On Us, Baby, in this case,
0:39:50 > 0:39:53we were looking for David Soul Top 40 singles.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Let us find out if this is Pointless
0:39:55 > 0:39:58and if it is, you will leave here with that jackpot of £1,000.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01How many of our 100 people said Don't Give Up On Us, Baby?
0:40:02 > 0:40:04It's right.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Well, your first answer, Hold Me Close,
0:40:06 > 0:40:08took us all the way down to 12.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Don't Give Up On Us, Baby now going down through the 30s,
0:40:10 > 0:40:13down through the 20s...
0:40:13 > 0:40:14to 20.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16APPLAUSE
0:40:16 > 0:40:20- That was never going to be your Pointless answer, was it?- BOTH:- No.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22That was never going to be a Pointless answer.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- Nor is the next one. - What do you mean?- Well, we'll try.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27I think it's OK, A Winter's Tale.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31Nice low-scoring answer, maybe, could be Pointless.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Remember, we're looking for David Essex Top 40 singles again.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Let's see, A Winter's Tale, your most confident answer.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39If it is Pointless, you will win that jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43That dent - gone. Shabby-chic - more stuff in the garden.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47Let's find out if A Winter's Tale is Pointless. How many people said it?
0:40:50 > 0:40:55It's right. Your first answer, Hold Me Close, took us down to 12.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Your second answer, Don't Give Up On Us, Baby, took us down to 20.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Oh! Down to 9!
0:41:02 > 0:41:04APPLAUSE
0:41:04 > 0:41:06- Not bad.- Not bad at all.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12Listen, three correct answers, which...that sometimes is a rarity.
0:41:12 > 0:41:13So there we are.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important Pointless answer
0:41:16 > 0:41:18so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20That will roll over onto the next show
0:41:20 > 0:41:22but you have been fantastic contestants.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24It's been wonderful having you on the show
